Cereal-maker Kelloggs became the latest multinational to pull out of Venezuela this week. Management blamed the economic crisis unfolding in the Latin American nation.
Despite holding one of the world's largest reserves of heavy crude oil, Venezuela cannot feed its people.
Hyperinflation along with a $70bn bond default means that basic food and medicine can't be imported. The military has been put in charge of food distribution and the government is running out of cash.
But despite the near economic collapse, PresidentNicolas Maduro, is standing for re-election. The US, the EU and 15 of Latin America's biggest countries have already said they will not recognise the result.
The country's sole source of income is oil, but even the industry is in meltdown.
The oil price recovery has done little to help Venezuela. The Organization of the Petroleum ExportingCountries (OPEC) says oil production is down to a 30-year low of around 1.4mn barrels a day.
And troubles are mounting for Venezuela's state run oil company PDVSA as lawsuits over unpaid bonds are bubbling. This week, the CaribbeanIsland of Curacao ruled that US oil major ConocoPhillips could seize assets owned by PDVSA.
The market has already absorbed the idea that Venezuela increasingly will no longer be a key player within OPEC and that all production will systematically continue declining.
Diego Moya-Ocampos, senior analyst for the Americas, IHS Markit
Venezuela uses refineries on the Island of Curacao to store a significant portion of the oil it exports to its
foreign markets. Direct sanctions on the oil sector are also a possibility.
"Until now, a perception within markets has been that Venezuela pays late, but pays," explains Diego Moya-Ocampos, senior analyst for the Americas for IHS Markit.
"Few creditors have dared to initiate or file legal actions against Venezuela to try to seize assets. Instead, they've preferred to look behind the scenes from some sort of payment agreement. After Conoco and the recent actions of these days, we're seeing a more aggressive stance and less patience from creditors trying to seize Venezuelan assets and certainly no one wants to be the last in line."
Moya-Ocampos believes that even though global oil prices are increasing, "the market has already absorbed the idea that Venezuela increasingly will no longer be a key player within OPEC and that all production will systematically continue declining."
"The issue of the economy doesn't seem to be a priority for President Maduro. He's just focused on trying to maintain power ... but as we speak, the economy is likely to contract at least 15 percent this year," says Moya-Ocampo.
"Inflation's already the highest in the world and will likely continue escalating, shortages of food and basic goods will likely continue intensifying, and with oil production continuing to decline, the government has increasingly less room to manoeuvre. We're not seeing any signs of Maduro's administration sending any indication that they'll radically change the direction of the economy."

Internet change: On May 25, the Internet will change. From that date, if your personal data is being used by any company in the European Union then you have rights that didn't exist before. Jason Bier of The EngineMedia Group discusses the new rules giving consumers the right to be forgotten online. Diego Naranjo of European Digital Rights also offers his take.
France's Iran dilemma: French PresidentEmmanuel Macron says European companies should be able choose freely whether to trade with Iran, regardless of the re-introduction of US sanctions. But some French companies are under pressure to shut down their operations in the Islamic republic, fearing consequences for their US ventures if they defy the sanctions, as David Chater reports from Paris.
Cambodia land grab: The remaining families in a long-running land dispute in Cambodia are vowing to fight until the end. Land grabbing by the government and private companies is a big issue there. In one case, they've been trying to remove people from an area in the capital to make way for new buildings. Wayne Hay reports from Phnom Penh.
Cannes film funds: The 71st Cannes film festival wraps up this week. This glamourous event is not just about showing film. It's a huge movie market. And behind the scenes, it's all about securing funding to get films made. But outside of Europe, a lack of money is having an impact on independent cinema. Films are in danger of becoming Eurocentric and rarely seen by audiences in their own country, as CharlieAngela reports from Cannes.

Analyst

An analyst is an individual who performs analysis of a topic. The term may refer to one of the following professions:

Accounting analyst, an accounting analyst evaluates and interprets public company financial statements

Business analyst, an employee who examines the needs and concerns of clients and stakeholders to determine where potential problems and opportunities lie, known also as a Business Systems Analyst in business

Cost analyst, an employee who analyzes business operations to determine which courses of action are most efficacious in business

Financial analyst, an individual who analyzes securities and business equity in economics and finance

Industry analyst, an individual who performs market research on segments of specific industries toward the identification of trends in business and finance

Marketing analyst, a person who analyzes price, customer, competitor and economic data to help companies

Data analysis

Analysis of data is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision-making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of names, in different business, science, and social science domains.

Raw data, i.e. unprocessed data, is a collection of numbers, characters; data processing commonly occurs by stages, and the "processed data" from one stage may be considered the "raw data" of the next. Field data is raw data that is collected in an uncontrolled in situ environment. Experimental data is data that is generated within the context of a scientific investigation by observation and recording.

The Latin word "data" is the plural of "datum", and still may be used as a plural noun in this sense. Nowadays, though, "data" is most commonly used in the singular, as a mass noun (like "information", "sand" or "rain").

BMW

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (German pronunciation:[baˈjɛɐ̯ɪʃə mɔˈtɔʁn̩ ˈvɛɐ̯kə]; German for Bavarian Motor Works), usually known under its abbreviation BMW, is a German luxury automobile, motorcycle, and engine manufacturing company founded in 1916. Headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, it also owns and produces Mini cars and serves as the parent company of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. BMW produces motorcycles under BMW Motorrad, and plug-in electric cars under the BMW i sub-brand. It is one of the best-selling luxury automakers in the world. The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50stock market index.

History

BMW was established as a business entity following a restructuring of the Rapp Motorenwerkeaircraft manufacturing firm in 1917. After the end of World War I in 1918, BMW was forced to cease aircraft-engine production by the terms of the Versailles Armistice Treaty. The company consequently shifted to motorcycle production as the restrictions of the treaty started to be lifted in 1923, followed by automobiles in 1928–29.

Counting the cost

Counting the Cost, or in the NIV: The Cost of Being a Disciple or in the NRSV: The Cost of Discipleship or in the NKJV: Leaving All to Follow Christ, are titles given to the Gospel of Luke passage 14:25-33 which includes a pair of parables told by Jesus. The first title comes from the phrase "count the cost", which occurs in the King James Version of the passage, as well as some other versions.

Narrative

The two parables are as follows:

Interpretation

Joel B. Green suggests that it is unclear what kind of tower is being referred to in the first parable, but notes that the message is that a "thoroughgoing fidelity to God's salvific aim" is required, "manifest in one's identity as a disciple of Jesus." This involves putting family and possessions second, as in Matthew 8:18-22 and Luke 9:57-62.

Films are in danger of becoming Eurocentric and rarely seen by audiences in their own country, as CharlieAngela reports from Cannes.

In part 2 of the How to Format Your DataSeries, we look at what makes up a column, and why sometimes some columns should be rows instead. Data Analyst Daniel Hom likes to imagine columns as whole relationships, with each row somehow a part of that relationship. If the items in multiple columns can be thought of as parts of a bigger relationship, try putting them into one column.

🇻🇪 🛢️Venezuela's oil meltdown | Counting the Cost

Cereal-maker Kelloggs became the latest multinational to pull out of Venezuela this week. Management blamed the economic crisis unfolding in the Latin American nation.
Despite holding one of the world's largest reserves of heavy crude oil, Venezuela cannot feed its people.
Hyperinflation along with a $70bn bond default means that basic food and medicine can't be imported. The military has been put in charge of food distribution and the government is running out of cash.
But despite the near economic collapse, PresidentNicolas Maduro, is standing for re-election. The US, the EU and 15 of Latin America's biggest countries have already said they will not recognise the result.

Cereal-maker Kelloggs became the latest multinational to pull out of Venezuela this week. Management blamed the economic crisis unfolding in the Latin American nation.
Despite holding one of the world's largest reserves of heavy crude oil, Venezuela cannot feed its people.
Hyperinflation along with a $70bn bond default means that basic food and medicine can't be imported. The military has been put in charge of food distribution and the government is running out of cash.
But despite the near economic collapse, PresidentNicolas Maduro, is standing for re-election. The US, the EU and 15 of Latin America's biggest countries have already said they will not recognise the result.
The country's sole source of income is oil, but even the industry is in meltdown.
The oil price recovery has done little to help Venezuela. The Organization of the Petroleum ExportingCountries (OPEC) says oil production is down to a 30-year low of around 1.4mn barrels a day.
And troubles are mounting for Venezuela's state run oil company PDVSA as lawsuits over unpaid bonds are bubbling. This week, the CaribbeanIsland of Curacao ruled that US oil major ConocoPhillips could seize assets owned by PDVSA.
The market has already absorbed the idea that Venezuela increasingly will no longer be a key player within OPEC and that all production will systematically continue declining.
Diego Moya-Ocampos, senior analyst for the Americas, IHS Markit
Venezuela uses refineries on the Island of Curacao to store a significant portion of the oil it exports to its
foreign markets. Direct sanctions on the oil sector are also a possibility.
"Until now, a perception within markets has been that Venezuela pays late, but pays," explains Diego Moya-Ocampos, senior analyst for the Americas for IHS Markit.
"Few creditors have dared to initiate or file legal actions against Venezuela to try to seize assets. Instead, they've preferred to look behind the scenes from some sort of payment agreement. After Conoco and the recent actions of these days, we're seeing a more aggressive stance and less patience from creditors trying to seize Venezuelan assets and certainly no one wants to be the last in line."
Moya-Ocampos believes that even though global oil prices are increasing, "the market has already absorbed the idea that Venezuela increasingly will no longer be a key player within OPEC and that all production will systematically continue declining."
"The issue of the economy doesn't seem to be a priority for President Maduro. He's just focused on trying to maintain power ... but as we speak, the economy is likely to contract at least 15 percent this year," says Moya-Ocampo.
"Inflation's already the highest in the world and will likely continue escalating, shortages of food and basic goods will likely continue intensifying, and with oil production continuing to decline, the government has increasingly less room to manoeuvre. We're not seeing any signs of Maduro's administration sending any indication that they'll radically change the direction of the economy."
Also on this episode of Counting the Cost:
Internet change: On May 25, the Internet will change. From that date, if your personal data is being used by any company in the European Union then you have rights that didn't exist before. Jason Bier of The EngineMedia Group discusses the new rules giving consumers the right to be forgotten online. Diego Naranjo of European Digital Rights also offers his take.
France's Iran dilemma: French PresidentEmmanuel Macron says European companies should be able choose freely whether to trade with Iran, regardless of the re-introduction of US sanctions. But some French companies are under pressure to shut down their operations in the Islamic republic, fearing consequences for their US ventures if they defy the sanctions, as David Chater reports from Paris.
Cambodia land grab: The remaining families in a long-running land dispute in Cambodia are vowing to fight until the end. Land grabbing by the government and private companies is a big issue there. In one case, they've been trying to remove people from an area in the capital to make way for new buildings. Wayne Hay reports from Phnom Penh.
Cannes film funds: The 71st Cannes film festival wraps up this week. This glamourous event is not just about showing film. It's a huge movie market. And behind the scenes, it's all about securing funding to get films made. But outside of Europe, a lack of money is having an impact on independent cinema.

Formatting Data: What Makes Up a Column?

In part 2 of the How to Format Your DataSeries, we look at what makes up a column, and why sometimes some columns should be rows instead. Data Analyst Daniel Hom likes to imagine columns as whole relationships, with each row somehow a part of that relationship. If the items in multiple columns can be thought of as parts of a bigger relationship, try putting them into one column.

🇻🇪 🛢️Venezuela's oil meltdown | Counting the Cost

Cereal-maker Kelloggs became the latest multinational to pull out of Venezuela this week. Management blamed the economic crisis unfolding in the Latin American nation.
Despite holding one of the world's largest reserves of heavy crude oil, Venezuela cannot feed its people.
Hyperinflation along with a $70bn bond default means that basic food and medicine can't be imported. The military has been put in charge of food distribution and the government is running out of cash.
But despite the near economic collapse, PresidentNicolas Maduro, is standing for re-election. The US, the EU and 15 of Latin America's biggest countries have already said they will not recognise the result.
The country's sole source of income is oil, but even the industry is in meltdown.
The oil price recovery has done little to help Venezuela. The Organization of the Petroleum ExportingCountries (OPEC) says oil production is down to a 30-year low of around 1.4mn barrels a day.
And troubles are mounting for Venezuela's state run oil company PDVSA as lawsuits over unpaid bonds are bubbling. This week, the CaribbeanIsland of Curacao ruled that US oil major ConocoPhillips could seize assets owned by PDVSA.
The market has already absorbed the idea that Venezuela increasingly will no longer be a key player within OPEC and that all production will systematically continue declining.
Diego Moya-Ocampos, senior analyst for the Americas, IHS Markit
Venezuela uses refineries on the Island of Curacao to store a significant portion of the oil it exports to its
foreign markets. Direct sanctions on the oil sector are also a possibility.
"Until now, a perception within markets has been that Venezuela pays late, but pays," explains Diego Moya-Ocampos, senior analyst for the Americas for IHS Markit.
"Few creditors have dared to initiate or file legal actions against Venezuela to try to seize assets. Instead, they've preferred to look behind the scenes from some sort of payment agreement. After Conoco and the recent actions of these days, we're seeing a more aggressive stance and less patience from creditors trying to seize Venezuelan assets and certainly no one wants to be the last in line."
Moya-Ocampos believes that even though global oil prices are increasing, "the market has already absorbed the idea that Venezuela increasingly will no longer be a key player within OPEC and that all production will systematically continue declining."
"The issue of the economy doesn't seem to be a priority for President Maduro. He's just focused on trying to maintain power ... but as we speak, the economy is likely to contract at least 15 percent this year," says Moya-Ocampo.
"Inflation's already the highest in the world and will likely continue escalating, shortages of food and basic goods will likely continue intensifying, and with oil production continuing to decline, the government has increasingly less room to manoeuvre. We're not seeing any signs of Maduro's administration sending any indication that they'll radically change the direction of the economy."

Internet change: On May 25, the Internet will change. From that date, if your personal data is being used by any company in the European Union then you have rights that didn't exist before. Jason Bier of The EngineMedia Group discusses the new rules giving consumers the right to be forgotten online. Diego Naranjo of European Digital Rights also offers his take.
France's Iran dilemma: French PresidentEmmanuel Macron says European companies should be able choose freely whether to trade with Iran, regardless of the re-introduction of US sanctions. But some French companies are under pressure to shut down their operations in the Islamic republic, fearing consequences for their US ventures if they defy the sanctions, as David Chater reports from Paris.
Cambodia land grab: The remaining families in a long-running land dispute in Cambodia are vowing to fight until the end. Land grabbing by the government and private companies is a big issue there. In one case, they've been trying to remove people from an area in the capital to make way for new buildings. Wayne Hay reports from Phnom Penh.
Cannes film funds: The 71st Cannes film festival wraps up this week. This glamourous event is not just about showing film. It's a huge movie market. And behind the scenes, it's all about securing funding to get films made. But outside of Europe, a lack of money is having an impact on independent cinema. Films are in danger of becoming Eurocentric and rarely seen by audiences in their own country, as CharlieAngela reports from Cannes.
